25 Best Forward Seasons Since 2005 - #11

[DitchMarner]

Consider only regular seasons for these polls.

As the theme is "best seasons," votes should probably be geared more toward final stat lines and award placements than projections ("best players").

1. Ovechkin 2008
2. Malkin 2012
3. Kucherov 2019

It is embaracing that neither Datsyuk's season has gone yet... Typical hfboard

97 points while winning a Selke isn't Top 10.

More votes?

After considering it voted for Crosby 2013

To me this is one of the absolute best seasons of the decade - easily top 4 and possibly even higher.

Two problems though. One is he missed 25% to injury . 2 is it was a lockout shortened season. Im really not sure how much to negatively weigh those 2 factors.

Lots of good other options too

Agree and while Crosby in 10 is also strong it's time for Datsyuk.

[KoozNetsOff 92]

Datsyuk 08: Selke, 4th in pts, 3rd AST, 9th hart voting

Datsyuk 09: Selke, 4th in pts, 2nd AST, 3rd hart voting

OP asks for regular season only so htf does 08 have more votes than 09?

 

[KoozNetsOff 92]

Malkin 09, Crosby 10, Stamkos 12, Crosby 13 all good choices here.

09 is probably a little bit better sure.
